Chapter 231: Circus Performance [Second Update]
"Don't be delusional son, it's impossible for people to fly to the sky, you better do more good deeds, maybe you can get a pair of wings in the future and become an angel!"
This striking remark made Leonardo da Vinci's expression darkened, and he could no longer be interested in his own whimsy, scratched his little curls, and trampled the fire with the children. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Piero was a man who, as da Vinci's father, was adept at discovering and nurturing da Vinci's talents, but when confronted with theories he could not accept, he would choose to reject them.
In Florence, for example, some scholars believe that the earth under your feet is round, and the sun is the center of the world. He has always scoffed at this view, and in his mind, God alone is the master of all things, the center of everything!
However, although he is stubborn, he is not an old-fashioned father.
Piero was a notary law, so he wanted da Vinci to do the same, but then a small incident changed his mind.
As a child, Leonardo da Vinci loved the scenery of nature, often climbed cliffs, and had a keen interest in painting.
Sometimes, he would sit alone in the grass, looking at the colorful flowers and trees, and drawing the shapes of the petals and leaves with interest.
He also likes to drill into the cave, go in to explore the secrets inside, every time he comes out of the cave, his body will be dirty, carrying a jar in his hand, which hides the small animals he has just caught, take them home and look at them carefully, and depict them according to their appearance, and begin to paint a little differently, but after a long time, gradually have a sense of painting, and the people in the town call him a little painter.
Gradually, Piero discovered his son's talent for painting and decided to support Leonardo da Vinci to study art and train him to become a painter.
In order to let his son get the guidance of a famous teacher, he took da Vinci to Florence City, found a famous local painter, officially opened da Vinci's painting path, and also made a good contribution to the birth of "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper".
However, he did not train da Vinci to engage in scientific research, because he only believed in God and the Church, and believed that the so-called science was in fact a little trick similar to magic.
......
Eventually, the children stepped on the fire and lined up in unison, rubbing their fingers together, waiting to be reprimanded.
Zheng Fei looked at da Vinci carefully, and the panic that was so strong before dissipated unconsciously the moment he finally saw this demonic genius.
When the fearful thing really comes, people will have a kind of relief and relief, in fact, all fears are imagined by people, and the more you think about it, the more afraid you will be.
The young man Leonardo da Vinci, thirteen or fourteen years old, with a clean and handsome face, dressed in a leather coat in the style of a little nobleman, and a gold cross around his neck, stood out from the crowd of dirty poor children, but he was happy to play with them.
Duke Abraham and Piero have been friends for many years, and almost every summer, Piero would bring da Vinci to the estate, and whenever he had time, da Vinci would sneak out to play with the children and show off his talent for drawing.
Looking at da Vinci's harmless eyes, Zheng Fei couldn't help but smile, the panic in his heart was completely lifted, and he said to Piero: "Where does your home live, I want to visit it in the future." ”
"Ask someone in Florence and he'll take you. Piero smirked, confident in his fame.
"Okay...... It's time for us to go back, don't miss the feast. Zheng Fei raised his feet and went out, looked up at the winter day, and sighed deeply.
He had to hurry up and get his hands on it, and then go back to the fleet to find another da Vinci, who was more threatening than that da Vinci, at least, never in history.
No matter how resolute a person is, he always has an indescribable fear of the unknown.
A few minutes later, at the gate of the manor.
The motorcade of the Romanian prince came in a mighty way.
It was the most luxurious carriage in all of Venice, specially modified by the duke at the expense of craftsmen, and inlaid with a lot of gold.
The prince sat in the car, admiring the people, with a smile on his lips all the time, but he didn't look at anyone.
And the people who flock to him regard his arrogance as noble.
Disembarking from the carriage, the prince habitually raised his eyes and glanced around.
"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The Duke took the lead in bowing, and the people responded in unison.
The prince did not speak, and continued to search with his haughty gaze for things that interested him, such as beautiful women, but none of the many girls present were to his liking.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange and smiled.
"What's that?"
He pointed to the sixth and most topmost floor of the castle.
Following his guidance, almost everyone looked at each other in unison.
"Oh, that's the prop used by the circus to perform, the bison statue. The Duke replied respectfully.
"Is it the circus of the East?"
The prince was pleasantly surprised, he had only seen the circus once when he was ten years old, and those wonderful performances left a deep memory on his childhood, which he still reminisces about.
"Yes, this is the owner of the circus, and he is also a giant merchant from the East. ”
Naturally, the prince looked at Zheng Fei, smiled kindly, and said excitedly, "Hurry up and let your circus start performing!
"Please sit down first, and let us sit and watch. The Duke replied for Zheng Fei.
Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked through the crowd excited by hearing the circus, and came to the gate of the castle, where the natives and some other shrewd and capable sailors were already waiting.
The Prince, accompanied by the Duke, sat down at the long table in the middle of the manor, staring expectantly at the circus and looking up at the statues on the top floor.
A few meters above the top floor, at the very top of the castle, the two musketeers lurked and muttered.
"I feel like the people down there are looking this way, and they won't find us......"
"As long as you don't move, you won't be discovered, and don't forget that Brad did this disguise for us. ”
According to the original plan, the natives stayed downstairs, while Zheng Fei took the rest of the people into the castle.
As soon as he thought about it, two columns of soldiers followed.
"Hey, I don't want people to stare at my circus performances, that's my secret. ”
Zheng Fei clasped his arms to his chest, serious and indifferent.
Santiago also followed his example, with his arms on his chest and strong muscles, which was extremely visually stunning.
The soldiers looked at each other for fear of being beaten in front of so many people in the manor.
After a while, an officer came up and said uncompromisingly, "I'm sorry, but we must keep the prince safe!" (To be continued.) )
